Sulfide inhibition is a critical task for the secure operation of sewer systems, and oxidation is usually utilised to achieve this purpose. However, the effects and mechanism of oxidation during the transformation of sulfur-associated pollutants in gas-liquid-solid phases of sewers have not been extensively evaluated. In this study, a method for quantifying sulfur-associated pollutant exchange pathways in gas-liquid-solid phases of sewers was established. The results showed that although the concentration of sulfide decreased under different oxidation conditions, the consumption of sulfate in sewers clearly increased. The transformation strength of elemental sulfur was high (18.65 mg/L, 35.52% of sulfate from the influent) and the accumulation of sulfate in sediment was obvious (3.49 mg/L, 6.65% of sulfate from the influent). Higher concentrations of sulfate in the influent promoted the generation of sulfide in sediment (8.98 mg/L, 17.10%). Thus, the oxidation process led to the generation of more absolute sulfide. In addition, promoting the metabolism of sulfate-reducing bacteria enhanced the loss of organic carbon in sewers, which might weaken the efficacy of nitrogen and phosphorus removal in wastewater treatment plants. Based on the evaluation of the exchange pathways of sulfur-associated pollutants in sewers, further studies into sulfide inhibition in sewers should consider the above issues to enhance the safe management of urban sewers.
